Pact allows broad use of casino cash - 0 Comments
Hundreds of millions in Suffolk Downs casino cash that would be funneled into a trust for East Boston can be broadly spent by the city on everything from new ambulances and fire trucks to traffic lights and planting trees, and will likely be handled by handpicked appointees of the next mayor, the Herald has learned.

Great bar with great food – Great food (not your ordinary bar food), great draft and bottled beer selection, great drinks and pretty much any sporting event you could wanna watch on all the tv's (there are at least 20-25)!
We found the long lost peewee herman bar – Very disturbing that we were asked to leave after one of the bar regulars started a fight with us as we were attempting to close out our tab on a hot pitcher of beer. The manager came slinking out of the back looking like he was pissed off that we interrupted his porn surfing on the internet and definitely had a look of peewee herman getting caught in the theater in florida. actually made us pay our tab twice which I did in order to keep the peace, will never go back to this hole in the wall backassward wanna be bar.
We are so sorry that you had such a strange and bizarre visit.
The best joint to watch a game. – This place is great! We always go there to catch a game. The food is excellent! There sandwitches are almost to big to eat. We love it!
Best pub food in KY – This place has the best food in town. They dont try to be anything they are not. They are a mom and pop place with great food (try the burgers, BLT or Irish Nachos). They are the true defination of a neighborhood bar and grill!
If you are into watching sports there is no better place in Lexington
Both locations rock

Alternative Names
Childhood volvulus
Definition of Volvulus – childhood
A volvulus is a twisting of the intestine that can occur in childhood. It causes a blockage, and may cut off blood flow and damage part of the intestine.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
A birth defect called intestinal malrotation can make infants more likely to develop a volvulus. However, a volvulus can occur without malrotation.
Emergency surgery is needed to repair the volvulus. A surgical cut is made in the abdomen. The bowels are untwisted and the blood supply restored.
Expectations (prognosis)
Diagnosing and treating volvulus quickly generally leads to a good outcome.

Brooklyn >General Merchandise Stores > Starbucks Coffee
139 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, NY | Directions 1121740.684357 -73.977657
Mon - Fri, 5:30am - 10:30pm; Sat, 6:30am - 10:30pm; Sun, 6:30am - 10pm
Neighborhoods: Park Slope
I agree – This target is absolutely awful, I like going to this mall as its 2 subway stops away from my apartment and i go to the starbucks thats in the 1st floor close to the subway, but i go to this target to buy some stuff from time to time and its absolutely disgusting, Its not that i am racist because most of my closest friends are black but this target employees some of the gutter type employees that i have ever seen, they are rude, they dont care to be there, its all messy and I cant believe after so much time they havent fixed this problem.
They need to no manner !! – horrible!!
I love Target, but customer service here is HORRIBLE – I love the products Target has to offer and I shop here quite regularly, but when I visit the Flatbush store, I often wonder if I've mistakenly come to a zoo in stead. The employees are very rude, and it seems that their absolute last concern is to help their customers. WHAT ARE YOU GETTING PAID TO DO?! Management, reconsider your staff please.
No merchandise and messy store – Why is everything always sold out in this store? My friends and I went to this store on the second day it opened and took photos of each other laying on the empty shelves. I've gotten more help from the customers than the staff and the place is always dirty. However if you've ever been to the Astor Place KMart this place isn't so bad. They curse you out for looking at them in that store. I would imagine the reason why this store is a mess is because the regional managers ignore this store. They might think it's in an unsafe area of Brooklyn and they don't want to bother with it.
Terrible Target – I live in Manhattan and it would be a quick subway ride to this Target, where I would likely shop regularly, except for one thing: It s-cks! Dear Target: I love your stores and used to spend a lot of money there when I had a car. But now I have no car, so I don't get to the suburban stores very often. My only option if I want to shop with you is the Flatbush Ave store, but I don't because of the following:
1. Store is chronically understocked. I go with a list of pretty basic, ordinary household items, and I can find maybe half of them.
2. The staff: So unbelievably nasty and unhelpful, it's almost funny. Where do you find these kids? You're presumably drawing from the same labor pool as Bed, Bath and Beyond, yet their staff is always courteous and helpful. This is a lazy management problem: Train and supervise your staff! Your security staff is also incredibly rude. (I'm a native New Yorker, so I'm not expecting handholding and a big Southern love-in, just be polite and do your job.)
3. Store is often dirty: floors aren't clean, carts/baskets are filthy and broken, what merchandise there is on the shelves is messy.
4. Unlike almost every other Target I've been to, the shopping experience at the Flatbush store is more like going to K-Mart. Seriously.
In conclusion: We are in a recession; if I am willing to spend my hard-earned money at your store, don't treat me with contempt.
This Target should be shut down – DO NOT SHOP AT THIS TARGET I have always loved Target but I was astonished by the treatment I received at Flatbush Target. I tried to return an OBVIOUSLY defective, and for lack of better words, piece of sh** purse I bought at another Target. The purse literally began to fall apart, change colors, and practically disintegrate the day I bought it. I can't express more that this purse is seriously a cheap, defective piece of garbage that should have been recalled. Its new and it looks like I put it in a trash compactor then a pool of pirahnas then stomped on it then poured ugly paint on it. (!!!) Basically they completely ignored the obvious fact that it was simply a defective item and tried to tell me it was my fault the purse looked how it did. Even though they said themselves many other people had returned that same purse for the same reasons. They still refused me. I was furious and pretty much sensed they would not help me just to spite me even though helping me was no sweat off their backs, or money out of their wallets. I was very polite because I hate doing these sorts of things and honestly never do--I hate confronting salespersons, or waitresses, or anyone for that matter who is selling me something, unless it's REALLY BAD, like this purse. I have a BAD taste in my mouth now for Target and it's disapointing because I have always liked Target. Please--do not support Flatbush Target. They do not deserve business.
Horrendous Customer Service...Truly the Pits – I live very nearby to Target. It would be the most logical place for me to go to to purchase things that I need. I'd much rather get in my car and go to Manhattan then set foot in this dump. This Target is out of touch and out of line with the image and marketing I imagine corporate would like us to have of it.
Worst of all are the employees. Worst customer service skills ever. Inattentive, uncaring, immature, unknowledgeable and in experienced. When a place is great, I will praise it and refer people to it. This place is the pits.
Way off Target! – I love Target. Hell, who doesn't? But the Flatbush location is by far the worst Target I've ever been to. Long lines not withstanding, the staff here just doesn't care about their customers. I once called looking for an item and had to call back not once, not twice, but four times before the operator could finally connect me with the right department. My search for a bath rug landed me with the pharmacist, the electronics department and then the perfume counter. What in the world is going on here? Once at the store, if you have any questions, forget about it. Don't expect anything short of curt responses, blank looks or even some nasty remarks. And I'm a nice person too. Do I really need this from a place I've come to know and love? Where am I because this certainly isn't Target! If I didn't have to rely on this location for basic apt stuff, I would never go back again. Someone please overhaul this place! It gives Target a bad name. Awful, simply awful.
Seattle-based coffee chain lures caffeine addicts with upscale roasts, caramel frappuccinos, shaken iced teas and an extra shot of trendiness. – In Short
For many, getting their daily jolt of java has become a daily morning ritual, and the cardboard cup with its infamous green label is the close companion of every coffee aficionado. Busy baristas work seamlessly behind the bar, juggling orders for their strongly-brewed drips and signature hot and cool beverages. While providing a wide selection of coffee specialties, pastries and various coffee related goods, patrons are invited to settle down in comfy armchairs and enjoy their favorite brews amid the chatter of the laidback yet caffeinated crowd.
Good store, except on weekends – While this store is generally a good Target location, stay far away on weekends, which is when stock is low or all over the floor, crowds are impassable and angry and the incompetent staff members are hiding in the electronics section watching TV together. Typical Brooklyn big box middle-management mistakes.

Offering sheer beauty and everlasting make, ExpressDecor is pleased to present the Clear Lavabos de Vidrio collection. These transparent vessels are the original prototype from when glass sinks first emerged on the home renovation scene. Having set the standard for contemporary bathroom design, clear vessels are an enduring classic that will never go out of style.
A clear glass vessel sink will naturally add an element of cleanliness to the appearance of your bathroom for an overall simple and sleek look. ExpressDecor's glass vessel sinks are handcrafted to boast a construction that is more than triple the hardness of other products displaying the same material make. Truly beautiful, glass has been an industry long trusted material that has proven to be durable, resilient, and user-friendly.
The core beauty of clear glass sinks rests within their versatile nature. Glass inherently possesses a transparent appearance that matches any color and any decor motif. A clear vessel sink makes for an ideal background base that can either neutralize the loudness of a bold decor or further contribute to the pristineness of a tranquil bathroom atmosphere. Furthermore, a clear vessel emits a jade-green tint that glistens when light shines through. This subtle reflection of color provides an incomparable shine that radiates elegance and sophistication all throughout the room.
ExpressDecor values the significance of providing their customers with variety when it comes to home renovation. As one of the main focal points of the bathroom that endures a lot of traffic, it is extremely important that your bathroom sink reflects exquisite style and up-to-date trends. Offered in an array of shapes, sizes, and colors, the ExpressDecor Clear Glass Sinks collection is guaranteed to have a fit that will not only meet industry's standards, but also meet your own personal aesthetic standards as well.

Kate Middleton Bottomless Photos: More to Come?by Free Britney at .
The release of Kate Middleton nude photos in Scandinavia was the latest chapter of the recent royal scandal, but will it be the last we hear of the bottomless and topless pics?
For celebrity gossip publications, the controversial pictures are the gift that keeps on giving. For the royal family, it's starting to look like a nightmare that will never end.
A blogger for the The Telegraph (UK) reports, "Newspaper pictures editors tell me there are as many as 270 pictures being hawked around." So far, we've seen 24.
The photos "feature both the Duchess and Prince William naked" and the palace fears that "the pictures are stills from a video." In which case ... look out.
A video could be even more cringe-worthy for obvious reasons (although we doubt it's a sex tape), but it's the inclusion of William himself that could pour gasoline on this fire.
Already fiercely protective of Kate Middleton because of his mother Princess Diana's endless battles with paparazzi, she's surely pretty broken up about this as is.
When and if he's a victim of it as well? The gloves, as well as Kate's bikini, could really be coming off then. Beware, any European tabloids who go there!
What's your take on the Kate Middleton topless scandal? Do you feel really bad for her?
Or are you over it? Or is Morrissey right that the royal family is utterly useless anyway?

It doesn't matter if they are in the public eye or not, they deserve their privacy. The press as usual is out of hand and their needs to be some laws passed that stops this obscene violation of people's privacy, in order to make a quick buck. I find it appalling that people would even believe this is alright, how different it would be if they woke up to find that someone had zoomed in with a camera and got pictures of them naked and splashed all over the media. Doesn't matter if it was indoors or out they should feel safe, especially when they were in complete privacy and the photographer had to climb onto the property, hide and zoom, zoom to get these photos. Our society is becoming to lean when it comes to privacy and those that take pleasure at such thing will find that they will have the last laugh. It doesn't matter if they are Royals or the neighbor down the street they have the right to a life free from invasion of their privacy, just like you and just like me.
Catherine, about brain dead gits---look at yerself dere girl. The pics were NOT in their own home, but on vacation (yes, at a private location, but not their home) and they were NOT inside the home, but outside. And nobody owns the air outside, honey, people can look any direction they want. And a public road was only half a mile away. I do agree about privacy in your home whether a celebrity or not, but ,duh, people are people and we have to be aware that this could happen to anyone. So we are responsilbe for the risks we take.
Cathrine, as much as i agree with you on the brain dead gits thing, that isn't the issue. The paps are willing to break any laws for money because they feel it is their God given right to put people of high accolaide in their place. Therefore the fault not only lies with the paps themselves but the editorials that publicly post these. Here in the US, as I am sure also exists in the UK, we have a law that protects the private properties of citizens. However these swindling rat paps think they themselves are above the laws. Legal hits to said publishers should also include this law of breaking privacy boundaries to really give the paps a low blow.
Carolina, here is a bang up idea for you and Lady A...do the world a favour and go kill yourselves. There are enough idiots in this world and being rid of the pair of you would be a great step towards a world without brain dead gits. Who cares if they are public figures. Those photos were taken in the PRIVACY of their home. I bet you wouldn't be singing the same tune if you were in Kate's shoes and photos of you at home were thrown into every publication. The pair of you are probably an old, bitter skags with saggy tits and wish you could be Kate anyways.
Famous people have the right to privacy when they are not on display to the public. This couple was at a private home in the middle of nowhere. They should be able to expect some privacy, although after their prior experiences, they might have realized the danger. However, the fault lies with the invasive photographers. Leave the couple alone!
Morrissey is right. These useless parasites, at least
they should be smarter, and take on the obligations with their positions, not only the privileges....Paparazzis are everywhere, even a 5year old knows that, real CLASSY celebrities never get into a situation like this....This pathetic
couple, they don't deserve a ''normal life'', they don't
work for it....By the way, what's the fuss? Skinny
Middleton's boobs are as flat as the Great Alberta Plain....not much to see there...Noblesse oblige....
How would she know that? She is not nobility, just
an ambitious ,phony social climber....

Economic forces and urban design.
I'm going to apply briefly to our community here in Shorewood what is being learned from a new perspective regarding the redevelopment of our cities, given the new circumstance of what is referred to as globalism, population growth and the resulting changing land values.
Verbal cartoon number 1. Speaking of the devil.
The Sin-not is in session.
TEA PARTY MOVEMENT, NOT A MOVEMENT. Most Americans stand in the center, not to the left nor to the right.
Do parties lead to a more democratic society?
Democracy is not doing as well today as our forefathers would have wished.
The poltics of "you betcha," not hopey-changey stuff.
A characteriization of the politics of "you betcha."
My view of the State of the Union.

Product Features
This Klipsch premium soundbar comes with the highest wattage, high-quality Aluminum diaphragm tweeters and additional motor structures in both the soundbar and subwoofer for Klipsch's best sounding, highest output soundbar to date. It is easy to hookup to almost any TV and comes with its own remote control or you can quickly program most existing TV remotes to operate it.
- 300-watts peak handling increases the power for a one-of-a-kind performance
- Proven technology designed to send sound more directly to the listening area: horn-loading. By incorporating highly efficient horn-loaded technology into this soundbar all sounds are more detailed, dialogue clarity is significantly improved and overall output is maximized to cover even the largest listening areas
- 2-way design with premium drivers - Utilizes lightweight aluminum tweeter diaphragms for distinctive high-frequency detail coupled with new long-throw woofers for extended mid-bass response. The tweeters are coupled to Klipsch-exclusive Tractrix® Horns to both reduce distortion and to increase dispersion more directly to the main listening area
- 10" wireless subwoofer - Subwoofer cabinet construction is critical for proper bass reproduction. Particleboard or, even worse, plastic subwoofer cabinets resonate in a manner that severely distorts bass, causing it to sound "boomy"
- Sophisticated, 2.4 GHz technology automatically connects the soundbar and subwoofer together wirelessly
- Easy connection and setup with Dolby® Digital decoding - Designed to quickly connect to most TV's using either a digital optical connection (preferred) or an analog hookup. Using the digital optical connection, the built-in Dolby Digital decoder accepts sound from both the TV and any device (such as a DVD or Blu-ray player) hooked up to the TV
- Basic functions easily program your existing remote - Program the soundbar's Volume Up and Down and Mute functions into your existing TV remote for further ease-of-operation. You also have the option of controlling all functions of the system with the included remote control
- 3D surround mode - Includes a selectable 3D Surround Mode designed to simulate the effect of a surround sound system. This effect will work at multiple listening positions in your room
- Soundbar placement/Wall-mount flexibility - The soundbar cradles on its own, stylish L-shaped feet on a shelf or stand or can be wall-mounted using the included mounting template. The minimal 3" soundbar depth aesthetically matches either a wall-mounted or stand-placed TV set
- Inputs - One optical input, one dual RCA input, one 3.5mm input
- Includes one pair of soundbar cradles, one wall-mounting template, one credit card style remote, one 4.9ft (1.5m) digital optical cable, one 4.9ft (1.5m) dual RCA cable

The Dean's List would like to congratulate Sweden on winning the Gold Medal in a thrilling fashion against the defending champions, Team Russia, as both nations provided us prospect junkies with plenty of talented players to watch. Despite Canada not competing in a Gold Medal match for the first time in eleven years the Sweden-Russia final was just as exciting as if the Canucks were actually there. Prior to the 2012 Under-20 World Junior Championship (WJC), The Dean's List took an in-depth look at a few 2012 NHL draft eligible players representing their home nations in the competition.
These teenage hockey players showcased their talents and showed the world why they are considered the elite of the upcoming draft class. Every year in the WJC, players use the opportunity to improve their draft stock while others struggle to leave their mark and see their stock decline. On top of the risers and fallers, there are always a few lesser-known draft eligible players that catch the eyes of the scouts improving their draft stock and the 2012 draft class is no different. The Dean's List recaps the performances of several elite players entering the 2012 NHL Entry Draft as well as introduces you a few players relatively unknown. Beginning with the lesser-knowns, let's get on with it...
Andrei Vasilevski (G, Tolpar Ufa/Russia)
When an underage netminder nudges out two older goaltenders for the starting position on the defending World Junior Championship roster then it is time to take notice. Andrei Vasilevski is a '94-born goaltender starting to gain a reputation as a clutch goaltender on the international stage coming into the tournament but he's solidified that now. Blessed with great size at six-foot-three-inches, Vasilevski posted a tournament leading .953 save percentage and 2.01 goals-against-average (2nd) and two shutouts to lead the tournament. In the semi-final game versus Canada Coach Bragin relieved Vasilevski during Canada's surging comeback and replaced him with teammate and 2012-eligible Andrei Makarov (no slouch either) but the young Russian Vasilevski should hold his head high as his two player of the game nominations and impressive showing at the 2012 WJC will certainly improve his draft stock.
Draft Stock: Riser (Top 2 Round Pick)
Teodors Blugers (C/W Sattuck St. Mary's HS/Latvia)
As an August baby, "Teddy" Blugers enters the 2012 NHL draft as one of the youngest players eligible but the Latvian-born Shattuck St.Mary's forward left quite the impression with scouts at the recent WJC. Coming from a high school hockey program that features hard working players such as Sidney Crosby, Zach Parise and Jonathan Toews it really is not surprising that the six-foot center/winger comes with an admirable work ethic. In his first World Junior Championship, Blugers potted a goal and two assists as Latvia's second youngest player. Scoring 33 points in 20 games for Sattuck St. Mary's, Blugers is starting to receive some draft attention and the versatile forward has shown some great faceoff skills early on in his career too. After a strong WJC showing, TDL expects Teodors Blugers to receive attention as a mid-to-late round draft pick and he could end up as a potential steal if he goes too late.
Draft Stock: Riser (Mid-Late Round Pick)
Christoph Bertschy (C/RW, Bern/Switzerland)
Undersized forward (5'9", 161 lbs) Christoph Bertschy took over for Switzerland when Calgary Flames prospect Sven Bartschi suffered an injury and really did wonders to improve his draft stock. Bertschy showed a real fiestiness and a nose for the net providing the spark that Switzerland needed to "get up" against the deeper and more talented opponents. With two goals and two assists in six games Christoph Bertschy has cemented himself as one of Switzerland's top prospects for the '12 draft.
Draft Stock: Riser (3rd/4th Round)
Radek Faksa (C, Kitchener Rangers/Czech Republic)
Climbing the draft boards quickly is big centre Radek Faksa of the Kitchener Rangers and he came into the WJC red hot. Faksa did not exactly dominate (2 goals) as some may have hoped but he continued to play a responsible game and showed that he can be counted on in a penalty kill role as well. As an underaged player, Faksa displayed a willingness to challenge his opponents on every shift and demonstrated to the world his good passing and shooting skills as well. Faksa plays a very North American game and NHL teams likely see him as one of the safer picks of this draft class.
Draft Stock: Holding Steady (Mid 1st Round Pick)
Tomas Hertl (C, Slavia Praha/Czech Republic)
Hertl had an impressionable WJC competition as he tied Petr Holik for the Czech scoring lead with three goals and five points. The elder draft eligible is the top rated Czech playing outside of North American and scouts like Hertl's combination of playmaking skills and his ability to engage in the cycle as seen a lot in North American hockey. The question surrounding Hertl has been his skating ability but skating is an area that can be improved so do not expect that to discourage NHL teams too much.
Draft Stock: Riser (Late 1st/Early 2nd Round Pick)
Olli Maatta (D, London Knights/Finland)
Unfortunately, Maatta was not able to finish his first game of the WJC after being nailed by Canada's Boone Jenner causing him to miss the remainder of the tournament with a concussion. The draft eligible blueliner was expected to take on a big role for Team Finland and the injury really hurt his chances of improving his draft stock.
Draft Stock: Fell Slightly (1st Round Pick)
Ville Pokka (D, Karpat/Finland)
With the absence of Maatta, Ville Pokka was the recipient of valuable icetime on a young Finnish roster and quite frankly he flourished. In fact, Pokka improved his draft stock as much or more than any draft eligible competing in the 2012 WJC leading all Finnish blueliners in points with one goal and four points in seven games. Pokka displayed his ability to make clean crisp outlet passes out of the defensive zone and played solid defensively throughout the WJC.
Draft Stock: Riser (Late 1st/Early 2nd Round Pick)
Zemgus Girgensons (C, Dubuque/Latvia)
Draft eligible prospects starring on below-average WJC teams such as Latvia tend to have an uphill battle to prove themselves given that the teams usually lack a supporting cast to help the "star" player. Moreover, the star player can be more easily contained by the opposing team's top defensive tandem as the lack of Latvia's team depth did not garner much attention elsewhere. Girgensons played strong throughout the competition but teams successfully contained his offensive output for the most part (2 goals). Zemgus did exhibit the ability to fight through checks and was able to display his pro-calibre shot several times but overall the Latvian star did not improve his stock too much despite being named one of Latvia's top players.
Draft Stock: Falling slightly (Top 15 Pick)
Ryan Murray (D, Everett Silvertips/Canada)
For the casual viewer, Ryan Murray may have left a bitter taste in the mouths of some (especially disappointed Canadians) after struggling through Canada's semi-final loss to the Russians. In that game, Canada's only first year draft eligible player ran into some unfortunate luck where he had an offensive zone turnover lead to the Russian's opening goal which was followed by a few more quick goals that seemed to all deflect off of Murray's stick, leg or foot. However, during Canada's third period comeback Don Hay knew how important the young defender was to Canada's success and Murray logged huge minutes alongside Scott Harrington and only finished minus-one after a horrific start. In the Bronze Medal game, Murray was fantastic and was able to show why he was the youngest captain named in Everett Silvertips history as he controlled the play with his superb skating and tremendous puck confidence. Ryan Murray is one of the elite of the 2012 NHL draft class.
Draft Stock: Holding Steady (Top 5 pick)
Jacob Trouba (D, US NTDP, USHL/United States)
The only draft eligible player on a USA team that left Alberta severely disappointed after a seventh place finish, Trouba was one of the few bright spots for the Americans. Jacob cracked the roster mainly due to the pre-tournament injury to 2013 draft eligible prospect Seth Jones but he showed fans why he has been ranked so high by NHL scouts. The 2012 WJC marked Trouba's official "coming out party" as he performed like a veteran, especially defensively, as USA's youngest player. Trouba finished the competition with two assists in six games and with his booming shot and physicality he should become a hot commodity for the upcoming draft.
Draft Stock: Riser (Solidly in Top 10, Pushing Top 5)
Filip Forsberg (C, Leksand/Sweden)
Forsberg was lucky enough to bring Sweden home a Gold Medal for the first time in 31 years and it occurred participating in his first World Junior Championship. The Swedes had good depth of veteran forwards but the coaching staff showed a ton of trust in Filip as he skated during critical moments of the game over some of the more "experience" Swedish players. Statistically, Forsberg did not light up the gamesheet as he notched only one point in seven games of action but it was easy to observe why scouts are raving about his "potential". Blessed with good size and better hockey instincts, Filip Forsberg is another player capable of controlling the game on his own. It is clear that Forsberg has a well-developed defensive aspect of his game and it shouldn't be too long before his offensive game takes flight.
Draft Stock: Small Riser (Top 5 Pick)
Sebastian Collberg (RW, Frolunda/Sweden)
Collberg was another draft eligible player competing for Sweden and identifying his strengths were easy - blazing speed, good hands and a wicked shot. In fact, there are people that believe Collberg is a better prospect than Forsberg but the rankings have disagreed with that assumption. The Dean's List feels that the rankings accurately reflect the potential of each player. Collberg's strengths were easier to notice during the WJC given his offensive production (7 points) but TDL believes that Sebastian is a player that is better suited as a complementary player rather than the go-to guy.
Draft Stock: Riser (Top 15 Pick)
Mikhail Grigorenko (C, Quebec Remparts/Russia)
Yakupov's biggest competitor for the number one status is Russian countrymate Mikhail Grigorenko. In the WJC, Grigorenko teamed up with linemates Nikita Kucherov and Nikita Gusev (who should be drafted as well after a very strong tournament) and the line displayed tremendous chemistry. Unfortunately, Grigorenko injured himself in the second tournament game and played sparingly the remainder of the competition. The big (6'3") centre is an attractive player for NHL teams considering NHL teams like the idea of building around a big centreman that can carry the pace of the game. Grigorenko has great puck protection skills and, despite nursing an injury throughout the medal rounds, Mikhail was very noticeable and still effective at times for Team Russia.
Draft Stock: Holding Steady but missed an opportunity to really push Yakupov for 1st overall (Top 3 pick)
Nail Yakupov (RW, Sarnia Sting/Russia)
The player favoured (by most) to go first overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, Nail Yakupov was making headlines throughout the tournament. Whether it was scouts critiquing his game, Yakupov chirpin' in broken English to the media after beating Canada 6-5 or the knee injury in overtime of the Gold Medal game, Yakupov was part of a story. Yakupov entered the competition with high expectations and the hockey world was watching closely to get their first glimpse of the budding star. Russia boasted a talented and deep roster where every player (save Kuznetsov) had to earn their opportunity for ice time and Yakupov was not able to play the "star" role as he's become accustomed to in Sarnia. Yakupov is without Sarnia Sting teammate Alex Galchenyuk as his set-up man due to injury but Nail has shown his adaptability by honing his playmaking skills and increasing his assist totals as a result. Yakupov's playmaking style of play continued in the WJC as Yakupov tallied a tournament leading nine assists for Russia. Fans quickly learned why Yakupov is projected to go first overall with his dazzling puck skills and skating ability that complement his tireless puck pursuit skills. Unfortauntely, Nail Yakupov injured his knee in overtime of the Gold Medal game and the MRI results indicate that he will miss the next three to four weeks which is good news considering no surgery is required.
Draft Stock: Holding Steady (Top 2 Pick)
Note: Draft eligible players Pontus Aberg (Sweden) and Martin Frk (Czech Republic) were injured before the competition nixing their participation in the 2012 Under-20 World Junior Championship.
As the season continues to chug along, the pressure to perform consistently at elite levels remain high for these draft eligible players. The slightest slump can alter their draft stock and these teenagers are well aware of the consequences. Fortunately, draft eligible players who have had a lack luster opening to their draft season or suffered injuries still have plenty of time to redeem themselves and much of the scouting world is just getting started in preparation for the upcoming 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
The next stop for The Dean's List in viewing the 2012 draft class is in Kelowna, British Columbia as the 2012 CHL Top Prospects Game is set for February 1st.

Dean Youngblood said:
As for Ryan Murray - He was terrible in the first period of that Russia/Canada game but a few of those goals that deflected off him were "unlucky". Murray can definitely be blamed for that offensive zone turnover that lead to the opening goal and also take some blame for reaching out with his stick and deflecting the second goal (I believe?) in but the rest were "unlucky". Regardless, Murray played very good in the remainder of the tournament and you are correct that he is "good at everything, excel at nothing" type of player. But, those types of players are what a lot of teams seek in potential NHLers. He's got top pairing upside but might become a top 4 defender (not too shabby). I like his game a lot. He's not flashy but he brings a calming influence to the game. Good skater, good puck handler and makes smart decisions (most of the time). He's the type of player that will learn from the mistakes he made in that Russia game and will become a better player because of it. Murray is a player who knows his strengths and weaknesses and plays to those accordingly making him a low-risk pick IMO.
He's still the top rated dman in my opinion (as of right now). Dumba is very close but comes with a little more risk AND reward. Rielly would be the next best for me but he's riskier than both Murray and Dumba so where each of them gets selected depends on how much risk the team is willing to take on. Trouba, G.Reinhart, Ceci, Maatta, Pouliot and Koekkoek all have great potential as well making this a great draft class to watch.
LuckyLuke said:
First of all, I really don't understand that Ryan Murray hype-machine. His performance at this tournament was average at best. Against Russians he was simply terrible and worth benching, I wouldn't call it bad luck at all. He's kind of good at everything, excel in nothing guy and I don't see that first pairing upside some others do. There is severel better d-man available in this draft class.
As I live in Prague, I've seen Hertl several times this season and man, that kid is really good. Not comparing him to Yakupov and Grigorengo, but besides them, he could be the next best forward easily. He's struggling with consistency (not so surprising for 18 year old in men's league), but when he's on, he's really dominant force.

In an interview with the London Observer several months ago, Geoff Barrow, the leader of the British trio Portishead, complained, "They turned our songs into a fondue set." "They" could be anyone—critics, fans, or the commercial concerns that have tried to license the band's music for film or TV. But Portishead brought the cheese bath on itself—when your sound is languid and spacious, and your female singer is generally not a screamer, your albums are going to become hotel-lobby music, even if they're brilliant. When the band released its startlingly complete début, "Dummy," in 1994, it encountered a crisis common among delicate musicians: success and failure both feel like slights. Fans loved the band, but did they get it? Did people hear more than just dinner music? Portishead's new album, "Third," which is actually its fourth, sounds like nothing else on offer now, but that won't prevent people from playing it in the background and breaking out the long forks. No matter. "Third" is at times delightfully abrasive, but the band members seem to have accepted that being soothing, despite their perverse streak, is part of what they do—even if the music, upon closer inspection, isn't reassuring.
Barrow is from the town of Portishead, twelve miles west of Bristol, where he met the guitarist Adrian Utley and the singer Beth Gibbons in the early nineties. He was in his twenties, and his musical skills were mostly non-traditional: mastery of turntables and samplers. He guided Utley and Gibbons into an aesthetic that was more appealing than their record company expected: sepulchral music that sounded like a warm, thick reduction of hip-hop, flecked with samples of soundtracks and dominated by the heady cry of a female singer who sometimes became so unhinged that it seemed as if the music itself were scaring her. "Nobody loves me," she wailed over and over in "Sour Times," the song that made Portishead famous. The band succeeded as miserabilists with high production values and a knack for the gorgeous and the odd—the booming, plangent bass and the sophisticated lady singer.
For their second, self-titled album, released three years later, the band members upended what had made them Portishead. They abandoned sampling almost entirely and engaged in obsessive strategies like writing and recording instrumental passages, pressing the results to vinyl, distressing the disk, and then sampling this edition of one. Meanwhile, Gibbons reduced the dram of playfulness in her vocals—almost always written separately from the tracks that Barrow and Utley created—and came across less like a complex, lovelorn woman than like an insomniac lighthouse keeper with a wonky stereo. (All that womb-like bass? Gone!)
What was best about the second record was the third record, a live album recorded in 1997 and 1998. Here's a band led by a guy who plays turntables, whose recordings are a patchwork of machines and instruments playing parts that are rarely notated and are then mixed to resonate like dance records—how do you reproduce all of this using an orchestral string section, horns, and a rock band? "Roseland NYC Live" is a sucker punch, and the band had such confidence in it that a DVD was also released. This might be its best album. The performance integrates many instruments, amplified in dissimilar ways, with no feedback. (Did these guys have the longest sound check in history?) Songs, some of which bear no resemblance to their recorded versions, move cleanly among passages of near-silence, little bursts of scratching or electric guitar, and swells of orchestral oomph. Beth Gibbons, who almost never gives interviews, is comfortable onstage and goes through a little flip book of vocal styles in a rearrangement of "Sour Times," including a flirty imitation of Billie Holiday and a rapid, harsh vibrato that could be described as a banshee wail if that term hadn't been wasted on lesser singers. Every time I hear the record, I'm surprised.
There followed years of agitation, false starts, divorces, scrapped sessions, and then, finally, Portishead's third studio album in fourteen years. If I told you that I expected much from this album, I would be lying, but when I finally got "Third" I played little else for weeks. What kids in 2008 will make of these spooky perfectionists is beyond me. This is not a time for lovingly made, high-fidelity sound art, but I'm guessing that a Portishead tour could attract not only a variety of young Radiohead fans who missed "Dummy" but other outliers who like some heft in their gloom.
The opener, "Silence," announces a distinct break with the hip-hop rhythms that have long grounded the band. A distorted voice, speaking Portuguese with a Brazilian accent, recites lines derived from Wiccan lore: "Be alert to the rule of three. What you give will return to you. You must learn that lesson. You only gain what you deserve." Birds chirp, a guitar worries away at a note, a bass line unfolds luxuriously, and the drums—the center of Barrow's aesthetic—are dirty and clumpy, playing a pattern that people call tribal, but it isn't part of any particular genre. It simply rolls, and it sounds, as Barrow said he wanted it to, "remote." (His reference point was Ali and Foreman's Rumble in the Jungle.) Gibbons isn't remote at all; she's up front, and where Portishead needs her—in misery. "Tempted in our minds, tormented inside life, wounded and afraid, inside my head, falling through changes," she sings. The song builds and builds, with neither verse nor chorus, and stops abruptly.

Back from vacation and trying to get motivated
by Wes Poe
posted Jul 14 2010 9:44AM
I had a week off before the 4th and we took a road trip north and west to Mt. Rushmore and also to Yellowstone. I'd never been to either place my fiancee has but she hadn't been to Mount Rushmore since she was a little kid. It was nice to get out of town and it was nice to get to some cooler weather. We actually camped a night in Yellowstone, and it got down to 40 degrees we were actually cold.
Now that we've been back I feel like I need to be getting back to work on my household projects. Still working on the back patio and side walk and thinking seriously about doing concrete instead of brick pavers. After some calculating I think it might be the cheapest route to go. I wanted to do pavers, but thinking a little further ahead about up keep and maintenance it might be easier to do concrete. I'm also thinking about winter and scraping off the side walks. I haven't made up my mind but I'm leaning that way. I'll be getting busy again soon and will have more to report. It's great to be back from vacation and to be recharged. (WP)

Cracking down on sex-trafficking in Nevada is the aim of an omnibus bill discussed with a religious lobbying organization the morning the 77th Legislature convened.
At a pre-session breakfast Monday, members of the Religious Alliance in Nevada heard from Chief Deputy Attorney General Michon Martin on that bill, and from other speakers on both education and Obamacare impacts. The sex-trafficking measure is Assembly Bill 67.
"Unfortunately," said Martin, "we have sex-trafficking here."
She said it happens when adult sex workers are intimidated by pimps, but also with the under-aged who are forced by adults into being sex-working victims.

A really useful tool to help collect together all of your thinking from your external analysis of opportunities and threats and your internal analysis of strengths and weaknesses.
A simple and straightforward explanation of how to use this valuable tool can be found in the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit's Strategy Survival Guide on SWOT.
Use SWOT to collect together thinking and to help you summarise the issues you need to consider as part of your strategy: SWOT helps you consider the internal:
Strengths and
Weaknesses, and the external
Opportunities and
Threats...as you face your future.
One of the criticisms of SWOT is that you can use it and still have your thinking remain in the same place rather than have it evolve and grow. This may be more a function of how you use it than a drawback of the tool itself, but it makes sense to focus on aspirations and moving forward when you use any of these strategy tools.
Take a look at the work of Stavros, Cooperrider and Kelley: Inspiration to SOAR, if you want a different approach to assessing:-
Strengths and
Opportunities - with a focus on
Aspirations and
Results - SOAR!

Orlando....What a Great Roadfood Town!
Thu, 07/28/11 5:07 PM
Orlando has been dubbed the land of restaurant chains, and it does have a lot of them. But just like any other tourist area, you just have to look a wee bit outside the box for great food. I have been adding places to
thread, and here are a couple more.
Great burgers can be found at
Johnny's Fillin' Station
. Fresh, cooked to your desired temperature, 8 ounce burgers on a very good roll. Prices are very reasonable and the service is great. Now, they say a place has got to be good if the Cops eat there. Johnny's is sooo good, they had an entire SWAT Team the day I was there
Cue the music for the next place.
Probably the best Chinese food in Central Florida can be found at Tasty Wok BBQ and Noodle on E. Colonial drive in Orlando.
This is always the sign of a great Chinese place.
But this made it even better.
Yep, that's longtime Roadfooders, Baah Ben and Sk Bob. If you think they are sitting a little close, I think they both rode in on Bob's Harley
Baah Ben found this place on
and has been singing its praises. Now that we finally got a chance to go there, I realized that I shop at the Publix across the street.
We started with shrimp won ton soup and roast posk that was fantastic. But we were shootin the breeze and eating and I forgot to snap a photo. Heck, I was lucky to get the rice away from Bob!
But I did get the orange chicken and beef dish(name?).
This was excellent, fresh and well prepared food. The orange chicken was full breast pieces, lots of orange rind, with an outstanding flavor. Bob commented how fresh the taste of the orange was. Baah Ben picked this as his favorite also. I liked the beef fon gool or whatever the name is. The large rice noodles it was served on were addicting.
As we were exchanging emails planning this event, I kept getting emails from Bob's wife's account, Third Turn Peg, since Baah Ben's high security doesn't accept emails from Bob. Now my wife is bustin my chops about this girl named Peg I am meeting for lunch. So Hon, here is Peg....
It was great meeting SK Bob and catching up with Baah Ben. John A. had a prior commitment and was missed.
Oh, the music? That's Baah Ben's lovely wife, Harriet.

at least you didn't come riding up on your pink scooter Joe.
it was great to finally meet you Joe after all the years of conversing in this thing. you're a great person Joe (I'm not just saying that because you bought lunch).
the name of that dish was beef chow fun, you plick,(from the movie Lethal Weapon).
thanks to BaahBen for turning us on to this great retaurant. at least we were able to drag 1 of the old farts out.
Great food, Great friends, and good conversation.

Good work fleshing out the Orlando restaurant list, Joe. I thought I was going to go there last year, and didn't get a lot of good-sounding suggestions, IIRC.
I wonder whether the owners are ethnic Chinese from Vietnam, as I believe the writing below the Chinese on the duck cabinet is Vietnamese.
I'm glad to see that you got to hook up with the Daytona Dynamic Duo!
I would have tried the duck tongues.

Hey Don, Could be, the restaurant is in an area known as "Little Vietnam".
Here are some shots of their take-out menu. The regular menu is much larger.
Baah Ben tells me there is a Brickyard Meet-Up in the works?

I went back to Tasty Wok for lunch with my family. The food was fantastic again. Sort of made me realize how under reported Asian RF is, and maybe under appreciated. I wasn't planning on adding to this report(no camera), so I snapped some cellphone pics
I use a restaurants hot and sour soup as a gauge for how the rest of the meal is going to be. This sinus clearing version is about the best I ever had.
The next course was crispy roast pork. One word, fantastic! Here is Baah Ben's write up from urbanspoon.com, with a great description of the pork.
Terrific..Bring your friends!

Once you've made the right decision to go to this wonderful place, the only issue is deciding what to order once you are there. Bring your friends so you can order a lot of different things!The servers are incredibly friendly....The place was neat and clean and the roasted meats were fantastic. The owner was there for lunch. My waitress pointed him out to me.I had a combo of roast pig and skin and roast pork over rice. A very common dish in many of the Chinatowns throughout the country. It came with a tasty dark soy sauce that you can put over the meats, but really the flavor of the meats needed nothing else.Moist and just terrific. The roasted meats were as good as any I've had in NYC's Chinatown where you see the meats hanging in the windows,One word of caution on the roast pig..It is fatty, but that's part of the process. You get some of the outer crispy skin, then comes a layer of fat below that exterior skin and then the moist meat. Don't miss this flavorful meat. If need by, just don't eat the fat (Chinese people love a delicate mix of fat with their meats) which can easily be seperated from the meat..I just wish I had more room to try the shrimp won ton soup or the chow fun with shrimp and black bean sauce. I'll be back!They have lots of more exotic cuts of meat, if that's your thing. Things like duck feet, chicken feet, etc.
Here are some of the specials....
Note to self: Seek out more Asian RoadFood.

Stopped here for lunch yesterday based on your report-it was wonderful. Finally got to try some duck. Ive always been hesitant to spend 25-30 bucks on something I'm not sure I'll like, but they had an appetizer portion for 7 dollars, absolutely delicious (and it is quite fatty, i don't think i could have eaten more than the appetizer)
Also had some beef and noodle soup and Buddha's delight. At home all we have is mall Chinese with General Tso's chicken, it was so nice to have some good Chinese. Very extensive menu, can't wait to go again and try some more

, Glad you liked it. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually can't wait to go back to Orlando.....just for the Chinese Food!
It's a coincidence that you should post here today. Just found out SK Bob has some serious health problems, and I was thinking about him most of the day.
